REFRIGERATOR FEATURES & USE
General Features
Adjustable temperature dial:
Your refrigerator will automatically maintain the temperature
level you select. The temperature control dial has 7 settings
plus off. 1 is the warmest. 7 is the coldest. Turning the dial to
OFF stops cooling in both the refrigeration and freezer
sections. At first, set the dial to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass
before adjusting the temperature to your needs.
(Note: If the refrigerator has been placed in a
horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait
24 hours before plugging the unit in.)
Refrigerator Interior Shelves
To remove or replace a full-width slide-out shelf:
(see fig. # 2)
1. Gently tilt the shelf up and slide forward until the shelf has been
completely removed.
2. To replace the shelf, gently slide the shelf back.
Defrosting Your Refrigerator (see fig. # 3)
• For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section whenever
frost accumulates to a thickness of 1/4" or more on freezer
walls. Note that frost tends to accumulate more during the
summer months.
• To defrost freezer, remove food and ice cube tray from the
freezer section. Your model requires you to place the drip tray
under the freezer section (see Fig. 3). To defrost turn the
temperature control dial to the OFF position. Defrosting may take
a few hours. To speed up defrost time, keep the door open and
place a bowl of warm water in the refrigerator.
• During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray.
The drip tray may also need to be emptied during the defrost
process. Do not leave unattended.
• After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as
the interior of the refrigerator. You may now reset your
refrigerator to the desired temperature and return food.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the
result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base
and al adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories
inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the refrigerator.
Proper Air Circulation
• To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
The following are recommended clearances around the
refrigerator:
Sides ……………3/4 "(19mm)
Top....................2" (50mm)
Back ..................2" (50mm)
Electrical Requirment
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps
outlet) with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third
grounding in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a
dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for
the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.
Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-
blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the
plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

in freezer and refrigerator. Clean refrigerator before reusing.
Vacation and Moving
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator
and freezer, move the temperature DIAL to the OFF position
and clean the refrigerator and door gaskets according to
